About the Serial ATA interface

The Serial ATA interface provides several advantages over the traditional (parallel) ATA interface. The primary advantages include:

  • Easy installation and configuration with true plug-and-play connectivity. It is not necessary to set any jumpers or other configuration options.
  • Thinner and more flexible cabling for improved enclosure airflow and ease of installation.
  • Scalability to higher performance levels.

In addition, Serial ATA makes the transition from parallel ATA easy by providing legacy software support. Serial ATA was designed to allow users to install a Serial ATA host adapter and Serial ATA disk drive in the current system and expect all of the existing applications to work as normal.

The Serial ATA interface connects each disk drive in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave relationship with Serial ATA devices like there is with parallel ATA. If two drives are attached on one Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating system views the two devices as if they were both "masters" on two separate ports. This essentially means both drives behave as if they are Device 0 (master) devices.

warning Note
The host adapter may, optionally, emulate a master/slave environment to host software where two devices on separate Serial ATA ports are represented to host software as a Device 0 (master) and Device 1 (slave) accessed at the same set of host bus addresses. A host adapter that emulates a master/slave environment manages two sets of shadow registers. This is not a typical Serial ATA environment.

The Serial ATA host adapter and drive share the function of emulating parallel ATA device behavior to provide backward compatibility with existing host systems and software. The Command and Control Block registers, PIO and DMA data transfers, resets, and interrupts are all emulated.

The Serial ATA host adapter contains a set of registers that shadow the contents of the traditional device registers, referred to as the Shadow Register Block. All Serial ATA devices behave like Device 0 devices. For additional information about how Serial ATA emulates parallel ATA, refer to the "Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment" specification. The specification can be www.serialata.org.

Power specifications

The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a native SATA power connector. See Figure 3 in "Serial ATA cables and connectors" Section.

Power consumption

Power requirements for the drives are listed in Table 2. Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, using 5.0V and 12.0V input voltage at 25°C ambient temperature.

Table 2 DC power requirements
Power specifications - DC power requirements

*During periods of drive idle, some offline activity may occur according to the S.M.A.R.T. specification, which may increase acoustic and power to operational levels

Typical current profiles
Power specifications - Typical current profiles
Figure 1. Typical 5V and 12V startup and operation current profiles

Conducted noise

Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 80-ohm resistive load on the +12 V line or an equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on the +5V line.

  • Using 12V power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 120mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to 10MHz.
  • Using 5V power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 100mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to 10MHz.

warning Note
Equivalent resistance is calculated by dividing the nominal voltage by the typical RMS read/write current.

Voltage tolerance

Voltage tolerance (including noise):
5V ± 5%
12V ± 10%

Extended Power Conditions - PowerChoiceTM

Utilizing the load/unload architecture a programmable power management interface is provided to tailor systems for reduced power consumption and performance requirements.

The table below lists the supported power conditions available in PowerChoice. Power conditions are ordered from highest power consumption (and shortest recovery time) to lowest power consumption (and longest recovery time) as follows: Idle_a power > = Idle_b power >= Idle_c power >= Standby_z power. The further users go down in the table, the more power savings is actualized. For example, Idle_b results in greater power savings than the Idle_a power condition. Standby results in the greatest power savings.

Power Condition Name Power Condition ID Description
Idle_a 81H Reduced electronics
Idle_b 82H Heads unloaded. Disks spinning at full RPM
Idle_c 83H Heads unloaded. Disks spinning at reduced RPM
Standby_z 00H Heads unloaded. Motor stopped (disks not spinning)

Each power condition has a set of current, saved and default settings. Default settings are not modifiable. Default and saved settings persist across power-on resets. The current settings do not persist across power-on resets. At the time of manufacture, the default, saved and current settings are in the Power Conditions log match.

PowerChoice is invoked using one of two methods

  • Automatic power transitions which are triggered by expiration of individual power condition timers. These timer values may be customized and enabled using the Extended Power Conditions (EPC) feature set using the standardized Set Features command interface.
  • Immediate host commanded power transitions may be initiated using an EPC Set Features "Go to Power Condition" subcommand to enter any supported power condition. Legacy power commands Standby Immediate and Idle Immediate also provide a method to directly transition the drive into supported power conditions.

PowerChoice exits power saving states under the following conditions

  • Any command which requires the drive to enter the PM0: Active state (media access)
  • Power on reset

PowerChoice provides the following reporting methods for tracking purposes

Check Power Mode Command

  • Reports the current power state of the drive

Identify Device Command

  • EPC Feature set supported flag
  • EPC Feature enabled flag is set if at least one Idle power condition timer is enabled

Power Condition Log reports the following for each power condition

  • Nominal recovery time from the power condition to active
  • If the power condition is Supported, Changeable, and Savable
  • Default enabled state, and timer value
  • Saved enabled state, and timer value
  • Current enabled state, and timer value

S.M.A.R.T. Read Data Reports

  • Attribute 192 - Emergency Retract Count
  • Attribute 193 - Load/Unload Cycle Count

PowerChoice Manufacture Default Power Condition Timer Values

Default power condition timer values have been established to assure product reliability and data integrity. A minimum timer value threshold of two minutes ensures the appropriate amount of background drive maintenance activities occur. Attempting to set a timer values less than the specified minimum timer value threshold will result in an aborted EPC "Set Power Condition Timer " subcommand.

Power Condition Name Manufacturer Default Timer Values
Idle_a 100ms
Idle_b 2 min
Idle_c 4 min
Standby_z 15 min

Setting power condition timer values less than the manufacturer specified defaults or issuing the EPC "Go to Power Condition" subcommand at a rate exceeding the default timers may limit this products reliability and data integrity.

Environmental limits

Temperature and humidity values experienced by the drive must be such that condensation does not occur on any drive part. Altitude and atmospheric pressure specifications are referenced to a standard day at 58.7°F (14.8°C).

warning Note
To maintain optimal performance drives should be run at nominal drive temperatures and humidity.

Temperature

  1. Operating
    41°F to 140°F (5°C to 60°C) drive case temperature range with a maximum temperature gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour.
    The maximum allowable drive case temperature is 140°F (60°C).
    warning Note
    Seagate does not recommend operating at sustained case temperatures above 60°C. Operating at higher temperatures will reduce useful life of the product.
    Air flow may be required to achieve consistent nominal case temperature values (see "Drive mounting" Section). To confirm that the required cooling is provided for the electronics and HDA, place the drive in its final mechanical configuration, and perform random write/ read operations. After the temperatures stabilize, measure the case temperature of the drive. See Figure 2 for HDA temperature checkpoint.
  2. Non-operating
    –40° to 158°F (–40° to 70°C) package ambient with a maximum gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour. This specification assumes that the drive is packaged in the shipping container designed by Seagate for use with drive.

Nonoperating: –304.8 m to 12,192 m (–1000 ft. to 40,000+ ft.)

Shock

All shock specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the input shock applied at the drive mounting screws. Shock may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis.

Operating shock
These drives comply with the performance levels specified in this document when subjected to a maximum operating shock of 70 Gs (read) and 40 Gs (write) based on half-sine shock pulses of 2ms. Shocks should not be repeated more than two times per second.

Nonoperating shock
The nonoperating shock level that the drive can experience without incurring physical damage or degradation in performance when subsequently put into operation is 250 Gs based on a non-repetitive half-sine shock pulse of 2ms duration.

Vibration

All vibration specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the input vibration applied at the drive mounting screws. Vibration may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis.

Operating vibration
The maximum vibration levels that the drive may experience while meeting the performance standards specified in this document are specified below.

5–22 Hz 0.25 Gs

Freq (Hz) 2 4 100 500
G2/Hz .001 .03 .03 .001

Acoustics

Drive acoustics are measured as overall A-weighted acoustic sound power levels (no pure tones). All measurements are consistent with ISO document 7779. Sound power measurements are taken under essentially free-field conditions over a reflecting plane. For all tests, the drive is oriented with the cover facing upward.

warning Note
For seek mode tests, the drive is placed in seek mode only.
The number of seeks per second is defined by the following equation:
Number of seeks per second = 0.4 / (average latency + average access time)

Table 3 Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) motor acoustics:

Idle* Performance seek
2.8 bels (typ)
3.0 bels (max) 		3.2 bels (typ)
3.4 bels (max)

*During periods of drive idle, some offline activity may occur according to the S.M.A.R.T. specification, which may increase acoustic and power to operational levels.

Test for Prominent Discrete Tones (PDTs)

Seagate follows the ECMA-74 standards for measurement and identification of PDTs. An exception to this process is the use of the absolute threshold of hearing. Seagate uses this threshold curve (originated in ISO 389-7) to discern tone audibility and to compensate for the inaudible components of sound prior to computation of tone ratios according to Annex D of the ECMA-74 standards.

Electromagnetic immunity

When properly installed in a representative host system, the drive operates without errors or degradation in performance when subjected to the radio frequency (RF) environments defined in the following table:

Reliability

Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)

The production disk drive shall achieve an annualized failure-rate of 0.73% (MTBF of 1,200,000 hours) over a 5 year service life when used in Enterprise Storage field conditions as limited by the following:

  • 8760 power-on hours per year.
  • HDA temperature as reported by the drive <= 30°C
  • Ambient wet bulb temp <= 26°C
  • Typical workload
  • The AFR (MTBF) is a population statistic not relevant to individual units
  • ANSI/ISA S71.04-2013 G2 classification levels and dust contamination to ISO 14644-1 Class 8 standards (as measured at the device)

The MTBF specification for the drive assumes the operating environment is designed to maintain nominal drive temperature and humidity. Occasional excursions in operating conditions between the rated MTBF conditions and the maximum drive operating conditions may occur without significant impact to the rated MTBF. However continual or sustained operation beyond the rated MTBF conditions will degrade the drive MTBF and reduce product reliability..

Nonrecoverable read errors 1 per 1015 bits read, max
Load unload cycles 600,000 cycles
Rated Workload Average annualized workload rating: <300TB/year
The AFR specification for the product assumes the I/O workload does not exceed the average annualized workload rate limit of 300 TB/year. Workloads exceeding the annualized rate may degrade the product AFR and impact reliability as experienced by the particular application. The average annualized workload rate limit is in units of TB per calendar year.

Configuring and mounting the drive

This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive.

Handling and static-discharge precautions

After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to potential handling and electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazards. Observe the following standard handling and static-discharge precautions:

  • Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wrist strap, or ground oneself frequently by touching the metal chassis of a computer that is plugged into a grounded outlet. Wear a grounded wrist strap throughout the entire installation procedure.
  • Handle the drive by its edges or frame only.
  • The drive is extremely fragile—handle it with care. Do not press down on the drive top cover.
  • Always rest the drive on a padded, antistatic surface until mounting it in the computer.
  • Do not touch the connector pins or the printed circuit board.
  • Do not remove the factory-installed labels from the drive or cover them with additional labels. Removal voids the warranty. Some factory-installed labels contain information needed to service the drive. Other labels are used to seal out dirt and contamination.

Configuring the drive

Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects point-to-point with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave relationship because each drive is considered a master in a point-to-point relationship. If two drives are attached on one Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating system views the two devices as if they were both "masters" on two separate ports. Both drives behave as if they are Device 0 (master) devices.

Serial ATA cables and connectors

The Serial ATA interface cable consists of four conductors in two differential pairs, plus three ground connections. The cable size may be 30 to 26 AWG with a maximum length o f one meter (39.37 in). See Table 7 for connector pin definitions. Either end of the SATA signal cable can be attached to the drive or host.

For direct backplane connection, the drive connectors are inserted directly into the host receptacle. The drive and the host receptacle incorporate features that enable the direct connection to be hot pluggable and blind mateable.

For installations which require cables, users can connect the drive as illustrated in Figure 3.

Figure 3. Attaching SATA cabling

Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. IronWolf Pro Serial ATA drives support latching SATA connectors.

Drive mounting

Users can mount the drive in any orientation using four screws in the side-mounting holes or four screws in the bottom-mounting holes. See Figure 4 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions when mounting the drive:

  • Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 in (0.76mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.
  • Use only 6-32 UNC mounting screws.
  • The screws should be inserted no more than 0.140 in (3.56mm) into the bottom or side mounting holes.
  • Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 6 in-lb).

Mechanical specifications

Refer to Figure 4 for detailed mounting configuration dimensions. See "Drive mounting" Section.

Weight: 1.554 lb 705 g

Serial ATA (SATA) interface

These drives use the industry-standard Serial ATA interface that supports FIS data transfers. It supports ATA programmed input/ output (PIO) modes 0–4; multiword DMA modes 0–2, and Ultra DMA modes 0–6.

For detailed information about the Serial ATA interface, refer to the "Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment" specification.

Hot-Plug compatibility

IronWolf Pro Serial ATA drives incorporate connectors which enable users to hot plug these drives in accordance with the Serial ATA Revision 3.2 specification. This specification can be www.serialata.org.


The drive motor must come to a complete stop (Ready to spindle stop time indicated in "Start/stop times" Section) prior to changing the plane of operation. This time is required to insure data integrity.

Identify Device command

The Identify Device command (command code ECH) transfers information about the drive to the host following power up. The data is organized as a single 512-byte block of data, whose contents are shown in Table 8. All reserved bits or words should be set to zero. Parameters listed with an "x" are drive-specific or vary with the state of the drive. See "Drive specifications" Section for default parameter settings.

The following commands contain drive-specific features that may not be included in the Serial ATA specification.

Identify Device command - Part 1Identify Device command - Part 2

warning Note
See the bit descriptions below for words 63, 84, and 88 of the Identify Drive data.

Set Features command

This command controls the implementation of various features that the drive supports. When the drive receives this command, it sets BSY, checks the contents of the Features register, clears BSY and generates an interrupt. If the value in the register does not represent a feature that the drive supports, the command is aborted. Power-on default has the read look-ahead and write caching features enabled. The acceptable values for the Features register are defined as follows

Table 9 Set Features command values

02H Enable write cache (default).
03H Set transfer mode (based on value in Sector Count register).
Sector Count register values:
00H Set PIO mode to default (PIO mode 2).















01H Set PIO mode to default and disable IORDY (PIO mode 2).
08H PIO mode 0
09H PIO mode 1
0AH PIO mode 2
0BH PIO mode 3
0CH PIO mode 4 (default)
20H Multiword DMA mode 0
21H Multiword DMA mode 1
22H Multiword DMA mode 2
40H Ultra DMA mode 0
41H Ultra DMA mode 1
42H Ultra DMA mode 2
43H Ultra DMA mode 3
44H Ultra DMA mode 4
45H Ultra DMA mode 5
46H Ultra DMA mode 6
10H Enable use of SATA features
55H Disable read look-ahead (read cache) feature.
82H Disable write cache
90H Disable use of SATA features
AAH Enable read look-ahead (read cache) feature (default).
F1H Report full capacity available

warning Note
At power-on, or after a hardware or software reset, the default values of the features are as indicated above.

S.M.A.R.T. commands

S.M.A.R.T. provides near-term failure prediction for disk drives. When S.M.A.R.T. is enabled, the drive monitors predetermined drive attributes that are susceptible to degradation over time. If self-monitoring determines that a failure is likely, S.M.A.R.T. makes a status report available to the host. Not all failures are predictable. S.M.A.R.T. predictability is limited to the attributes the drive can monitor. For more information on S.M.A.R.T. commands and implementation, see the Draft ATA-5 Standard.

SeaTools diagnostic software activates a built-in drive self-test (DST S.M.A.R.T. command for D4H) that eliminates unnecessary drive returns. The diagnostic software ships with all new drives and is also available at: http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/.

This drive is shipped with S.M.A.R.T. features disabled. Users must have a recent BIOS or software package that supports S.M.A.R.T. to enable this feature. The table below shows the S.M.A.R.T. command codes that the drive uses.

Table 10 S.M.A.R.T. commands

Code in features register S.M.A.R.T. command
D0H S.M.A.R.T. Read Data
D2H S.M.A.R.T. Enable/Disable Attribute Autosave
D3H S.M.A.R.T. Save Attribute Values
D4H S.M.A.R.T. Execute Off-line Immediate (runs DST)
D5H S.M.A.R.T. Read Log Sector
D6H S.M.A.R.T. Write Log Sector
D8H S.M.A.R.T. Enable Operations
D9H S.M.A.R.T. Disable Operations
DAH S.M.A.R.T. Return Status

warning Note
If an appropriate code is not written to the Features Register, the command is aborted and 0x 04 (abort) is written to the Error register.
